Cheesy Chicken and Asparagus Bundles

Submitted by StaciJane

"I saw the asparagus in the produce section today and decided to come up with a recipe for dinner tonight. This is what I came up with - both DH and myslef loved it. Easy enough for any day, but "fancy" enough for a dinner party. I served these with fingerling potatoes roasted with olive oil and rosemary."

Good as written, improved with some seasoning (I agree with Jackieblue) and a nice marinade prior to baking? Thanks for a nice base recipe!

Very good base recipe for us to make our own. I used a blend of Asiago, fontina, parmesan, provolone, and mozzerella. I also seasoned the outside liberally with pepper, some garlic, and a little salt. I highly recommend thick asparagus spears as the thin would have been very overcooked for us. I might shave a little off the cooking time next time. Served with rice pilaf. It will be fun to try different cheeses. My husband loved this and I am glad I made enough for 2 nights!

Made exactly as written. Giving 5 stars for one of the easiest entrees I've ever made with the fewest ingredients that tastes really great! Served with a wild rice and sliced tomatoes.

This was SO good! The only thing I did different was seasoned the chicken breasts with garlic and pepper and then paprika on top to enhance presentation. I also cut the asparagus spears in half. They tasted AWESOME and looked awesome too! Left overs heated well, too, and tasted just as good the next day. I cant wait to make this for other people. Thanks!
